RMweb Premium ullypug Posted March 10, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2014 Specifically the black and white pictures are disappointing. Perhaps it is just the best that were available from the shoot? It would be annoying if it has been done deliberately to give them a vintage "box brownie" look? That would be silly. They were a lot sharper than that when I submitted them. Shame really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then it was me who complained about the brown wash on a batch of photographs a few issues ago. I prefer this one. Bernard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very kind of you to say Martin. It was only meant to be an update/work in progress article. Mind you, I'm not sure there's an awful lot more I could say to merit doing anything else.

clecklewyke Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 They were a lot sharper than that when I submitted them. Shame really. I confess I really thought that some were of the prototype -just the right lack of contrast for an old Brownie and I was annoyed that the captions did not make it clear which ones were.

Adam Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 While on the subject of photography, I must say that I was especially impressed with the pictures of Rolvenden. The positioning of the camera to allow plausible sight lines shows the quality of the model rather better than it appears at exhibitions. The use of natural daylight makes a huge difference as well. When displayed at shows the layout has Perspex screens along the front - which inevitably get scratched and dirty - and these spoil it though I can understand why they're there. The photos show how it ought to be viewed to best show off what is a very good model. The Sentinel piece was interesting. Robin seems to have found issues I haven't and missed some things I saw fit to correct with my attempt it the same kit (albeit modified to represent a later variant of the same type). Much to ponder there. Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Sentinel and K38 articles were of most interest. I couldn't help thinking about Gerry Beale's heavy hint about Hornby's standards being downgraded. In the short term, at least, I think he's going to continue to be disappointed.

clecklewyke Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 And Bristol TM - even the missus raved about it, and she ain't easily impressed. Has she seen the RMWeb thread about this. Absolutely incredible! Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
